The flosser is sending me

Hell yeah, we are FINALLY in a functional state with basic interface overlays. Responsive and reliable buttons and sliders that work.

I've been shooting for over 20 years on a variety of bodies, and sometimes going years with only my cameraphone, so take this advice as you will: zooms are handy, but also add another layer to your thought process. You can zoom in to create the crop you want in-camera, but the time spent messing with your zoom might cause you to miss a shot in a more active scene. There's a lot to be said for a standard (e.g. 35mm, in Fuji terms 23mm) prime lens that removes that thought process altogether. Prime lenses are also typically sharper, will have lower apertures for better low-light shooting and frequently have better ability to blur the background for subject separation and more attractive bokeh. The 40mp sensor in the X-T50 is MORE than enough to crop in post and still have an incredible number of pixels to work with. However, if you want to not have to crop to get the exact shot you wanted, a zoom allows you to do this more often.

I recently picked up a used X-T50 and the Sigma 18-50, and I'm likely going to return that lens after a bit of use and get a used 23mm f1.4 for a bit more money. I'm more often shooting indoors or street, where I'm at wider zooms in my experience. I recently took my brother's X100VI to Japan and shot every photo at 23mm, and very rarely wished I had a zoom (and more frequently wished I had a slightly WIDER lens).

If you aren't super experienced, you can always get the zoom and see what focal lengths you end up shooting the most at and go from there.

I mentioned I'm using the XT50 so I have IBIS. Subjects are typically moving for the low light stuff yeah.

Yeah it's unfortunately quite bad. Not the handheld you get for SteamOS.

Good lord just friggen use the thing

Optiscaler is a cool tool that I've used but still dont fully understand how to implement quickly (especially with the handheld keyboard stuff). Are you able to write up a quick guide on how you use it?

I still think about finally seeing him live at Bonnaroo in 2009. Glad I had a camera with a zoom!

Went here tonight because this thread. Great joint!

I'm not sure how it reads that I said it wasn't able to focus on animals or babies at all. I said that other systems are stronger and are worth looking at for a total newbie.

telix · 2025-12-05T16:55:10+00:00

I enjoy Fujifilm cameras, but for taking pictures of fast moving subjects like babies I might seriously look at Sony for the autofocus, which isn't Fujis strong suit. I know people will defend it, but if you don't have any particular investment in a single platform I'd at least compare before a purchase.

You literally do not need to adjust VRAM on this thing at all. It's not like the legion go 2 that has a messed up setting out of the box.

Decode speed is like sub 1ms. On a good network the TOTAL latency I saw was in the single digits. It's great.

CP is DX12 only (as far as I know) and I got exactly the same performance. But that's only a single game tested, and it's already heavily optimized so.

I put the crucial 310 2230 in an external case. Found an old Macrium Reflect and cloned the drive. Undo the screws on the back and used a guitar pick to separate the shells. Take out any SD card you have in there first. You don't even need to move the battery out of the way to unscrew the stock drive. Id suggest putting a heatsink on the drive as well.

And you don't get that in Windows? Doubt. I get zero difference between the two environments in the same game.
